The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. I give this story a 4-star review and suggest that if you like dark, twisted stories, then you should pick this on up, but beware there is a cliffhanger.įollow Sassy Redhead Book Reviews on WordPress.Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. I enjoyed this story, but the cliffhanger left me wondering about a lot. Luther will not only put his life in danger with Demeter by keeping Persephone, but he also has to worry about his health because Demeter’s deal with him could end if she doesn’t find her daughter, or if she finds out he has her. The deceit and twists in this book are dark and dangerous. Their arrangement could cause both of them their lives, but they also can’t back out of their arrangement. Hades and Persephone’s meeting will bring them both to realizations about their lives and who they are. She loves the sunshine, flowers, and fields, but she wants to go to the city and especially the New York City Library. She wants to leave the fields that she has been working for the better part of her life helping her mother. She is naïve about the world around her outside of her mother’s fences. Persephone is sheltered by her mother, Demeter. There are many rumors about Luther and his mountain mansion. He despises he brother Zeus that lives in the city and rules there. He makes a lot of bargains with people when they find themselves in his path and fear for their lives. He gets what he wants, and he doesn’t make any excuses for how he lives or what he does. Luther Hades lives in a mansion on the mountain. A modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that is dark, twisted, and left me hanging.
